Ever heard of Melart Motel here in Lawton, Oklahoma? It is located on SW Lee Blvd.
This place allows sexual offenders to live here for weeks on end. There is currently a sex offender in room 10. Need proof?
http://docapp8.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=229&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&offender_id=31446
He has been living here since January 2nd and is still there now (January 11th) If he is registered, how long will he be there? I find it concerning that women and children will be in some accessible vicinity to a rapist. This is disgusting.
Look up 16 Sw Lee Blvd, Lawton, OK 73501 and it will populate more than one sex offender at this location.

It may be disgusting but what are you willing to do about it?
Unless enough people say NO NOT HERE nothing will be done.........
I suggest a peaceful protest.... word of mouth is always good but protest lets EVERYONE know WE WON'T STAND FOR THIS and this is what we are doing about it.

this is the list just from 73505

They are all around, could be next door at any time. This is why you must be on your guard. It cant be stopped in my opinion. Your only defense is to protect yourself and your children and be aware

www.familywatchdog.com this is a great site to track sex offenders it will show you the distance from your house they are, their picture, and the crimes they committed. i found out that just outside the fort sill gate by my house and the elementary school across the street from my house is about 15. its horrible which is why ill be moving but again there is not much you do. but be aware and watch your children closely. the elementary school that has about 15 around it is Pat henry elementary.

Nothing you can do?
That's the exact thinking that makes it OK for them to do it AGAIN!
Why will he able to get away with another crime? Because NO ONE prints flyers warning the neighborhood! The neighbors don't put a sign in the ground saying "I live next door to a sex offender." Heck write it on your back windshild where they live
Because the community as a whole really doesn't CARE about the SAFTEY of the kids living in it and refuses to rally saying NO NOT HERE.... people whom can afford to move will and the people whom can't are more likely to have victums amoung them..... but again that's OK as long as it isn't YOUR KID

it doesnt make it ok, but there are crazy people in this world and if you do those things either they will or their family members are more than likely to retaliate against you. they should be buried under a cell instead of let loose to roam our streets again. if i had one near me i would probably try and get them to have to move myself. that is one thing that burns me up inside when a person does something like that to an innocent child.

Here, I have actually contacted the motel as well as KSWO to let them know of the situation. I always thought there were guidelines to sex offenders. Flyers is a good idea, I didn't think outside of the box on that one. They really need to tighten up the guidelines on sex offenders.
Sharon, what you say disturbs me. Aren't they supposed to live so many miles away from a school? That makes me so sick. I don't get how these people, especially after multiple offenses, are allowed back into society with basically zero repercussions. I agree with zoning that Lawton had once proprpsed. Yeah maybe it violates their rights, but they sure didn't mind violating their victims rights, ya know?
Candy, I don't think that is an accurate list...the person I mentioned isn't noted on it so I wonder how many others are missing. If I may, where did you aquire that list? I look up the OKlahoma sex offenders from the DOC site if that helps. And CANDY, might I note AMEN to your proposal.

On the link I gave there is actually a complaint/comment back. I made sure to make a comment regarding the fact that a sex offender in a hotel should be a violation of probation. I mean come on...let's just give them easy access to their next victim, ya know? Maybe I am just hateful inside, but people who victimize and are sexual predators disgust the living hell out of me. A man who has to force sex on any woman or child is no man.

I don't think we should have to move...THEY should have to move. THEY are the sick, twisted bastards. WHy should we have to spend the moeny to relocate when they are the sick bastards that are causing havoc on our once safe communities!

justjack - i just typed in oklahoma sex offenders and that came up. it will give you a list of whatever city you type in. i have also been told that there is a sex offender on post that is a memeber of the army. he also lives close to our school on post. it is not a rumor.
also one of my husbands soldiers had a friend who is also a soldier and he raped my husbands soldiers 11 and 15 year old in their home. he is not in jail. the other day the child was at the shoppete on post and the guy pulled up the little girl went crazy. she called her dad to let him know. the army does not always do what they should to protect our families. there are lots of stories about ft. sill and rape and other disturbing stories that occur on post. i live on post and it is scary.

Sorry, I did not mean I was ok with this, just that there is little that can be done, because they are given rights and yes I dont think they should have any at all. I do not believe in reform or anythign like that. I do believe that the best thing you can do is be aware of who adn what is around you. I would never let my kids out of the house if I knew someone was living near me.
It also angers me the number of people who just let their kids run loose, not just because of this but so many things can happen to a 5 year old that is not supervised.

This is just a question why punish your kids for the crimes of others? If your child wants to play outside and there's a sex offender near you grab your radio a drink and a folding chair and watch them play outside...... if they want to go to the park walk with them and stay....other things you can do is have a meet and greet with neighbors also start up a neighborhood watch....... five year olds should never be allowed to play outside alone.... since some don't seem to care why don't you take it upon yourself to sit outside and watch these kids or the neighborhood watch teams?
There is TONS you can do won't 100% prevent the crimes but it will decrease the likelyhood....
JustJack what did the motel say? What did the news say? Do you need more phone calls to make somthing happen? If you post flyers will you need help? Have you informed the police station?

I know that its still showing up there, but my husband went by the MP station and asked about the sex offender on post, and they told him that he doesnt live there anymore. I dont know how accurate that is. I thought they had a certain amount of time to update their new addresses...

WELL HOPEFULLY THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH AND HE DOESNT LIVE HERE ANYMORE. HE SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO BE AROUND CHILDREN AT ALL IN MY OPINION AND THE ARMY SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT HE ISNT IF THEY ARE GOING TO ALLOW HIM TO BE IN THE ARMY WHERE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN CLOSE TOGETHER NO MATTER WHERE HE IS STATIONED.

THERE IS ALWAYS A SEX OFFENDER ON POST! They just haven't been caught yet! One out of every 3 girls and one out of every six boys is SEXUALLY ASSULTED before there 16th birthday according to a study done in 2006..... POST IS NEVER SAFE!
With those numbers im guessing one out of every 20 houses(if not less) HAS SOMONE whom has looked at kiddie porn, touched a child, or gone farther!
Moving won't fix the problem! Believing your safe on post won't fix the problem! Praying won't fix the problem! BEING PROACTIVE IS THE ONLY WAY TO HELP FIX IT!
Look at what your spouce and kids look at on the comp. TALK to your neighbors... when you are half drunk and you bring some random guy home and you find him in bed with your child BLOW THE HORN! Worry about your husband leaving after you TAKE CARE OF YOUR KID!
The first step in getting rid of them is being proactive

Just wanted to give you all an update. The news said they were looking into it, but I haven't seen anything done. I have been emailing the Lawton Constitution and KSWO daily now hoping something will be done. The hotel owners don't take it seriously although I have mailed them the information. I have placed flyers around the hotel and just keep putting the word out. The sex offender is still living at this motel. I have heard other things about this guy but there are no convictions so I won't state them. But his rap sheet can be proven online. How does our society allow this trash to roam the streets? I am so disgusted!
